current mood: calm
Since I came back home I went through 2 office chairs... really, I didn't think I'd go through that many in 4 years...
Actually, the first one I bought, nothing's wrong with it, I just want a bigger one. :) So I bought a second one... a big more expensive than the first, but more comfortable... Anyhow... last week, it gave out on me.
Yeah, office chair... the gas thing died on me... I was just sitting down (after gotten up to get something mere minutes earlier) and it slowly lower to the bottom. So I got up, adjusting the height again.. And again, it slowly lower to the bottom.
I went and searched for a way to fix this, since the rest of it was fine. But the only answer I got was that I have to change the gas lift. I thought, hair furniture store.
I went to 2 big ones, they said they don't have the parts.
I went to home improvement store, they suggested I went to the place I bought it and have it repair.
Hell no!!
So I bought a PVC pipe.. 1.5" in diameter, 2 of them, it's only about 5 inches long for each (it was a connector or something) I thought this would woke, after all, I don't adjust the height at all when I use the chair. So, something to hold the seat up would work and there!!
Besides it's a hell of a lot cheaper than getting the parts, or waiting for repair. I just had to cut out a section and force the pipe around the core and that's it!
